How To Become A Robotic Engineer Fast by Alphabyte3: 2:14pm On Jun 30
How become a good robotics engineer you need to learn how to use ROS ,Arduino, raspberry pi, ROS Isaac sim ,Gazebo Robotic simulator, unreal engine and Unity, it is also important for a robotics engineer to have a strong foundation in programming languages such as C++, Python, Java or Kotlin and C#. These are commonly used languages in robotics development. You can learn on Udemy, YouTube ,edX and Udacity.

To get started, you can buy robotics toolkits or components from online marketplaces such as Amazon, Jumia, Alibaba, AliExpress, and Konga. These platforms offer a wide range of components that you can use to build your robotics projects.

It is also helpful to join online communities and forums where you can connect with other robotics enthusiasts and learn from their experiences. Additionally, attending workshops, courses, and conferences related to robotics can help you stay updated with the latest developments in the field. To start you might need a capital base of 5 million naira above depending on your location .

Overall, the key to becoming a good robotics engineer is continuous learning and practice. By honing your skills in programming, robotics platforms, and hands-on building, you can become proficient in designing and developing robotics systems.

I wrote it by myself and used AI to correct the errors and added somethings to the content.

All what I just said is for experts children should start with scratch it is a no code tool that helps understand coding robots by utilizing block coding .


Get started with scratch

The are tons of GitHub repositories to learn robotics and become good just browse them and understand the logic behind the code . Tools like copilot and Chatgpt can help.https://www.google.com/search?q=awesome+robotics+github

You need to learn Raspberry pi? What's up with that?

Raspberry pi is an essential component in robotics. I meant you need to learn how to use it .

So Linux basically. Yeah true.

Not easy to learn robotics in Naija sha. Hardware costs dey put people off

Edit: While Pis are the behomoth in that space, there are loads of other Single Board computers (Banana Pi, Odroid etc) that can also play the role.

It is possible to build a robot on any os depending on the microprocessor like Mac , Linux and windows based on the chipset.
It cost about 2.5M to learn the basics of robotics In Nigeria and isn't the international standard knowledge to work for big tech .The main reason I said 5million naira and above .
The only way to make money in robotics In Nigeria is to open a training center for adults and kids with cutting edge technology .


The main reason robotics Startups in China and US partner with themselves , university, companies ,research institute and government (military) to cut cost .

Break that 2.5mili down. What and what makes the cost of learning get to that figure? I have a small robot vehicle chassis and some RPis laying about. Wanted to get into Computer Vision for robotic vehicles but got distracted and abandoned it. Maybe 2.5m will be enough motivation to get back in

I have these idea using radar ,sonar and lidar with 3d real time reconstruction of the object using Opencv and tensor flow with enhanced HDR camera that can zoom in and out .

Some potential applications of this technology could include autonomous vehicle navigation, search and rescue operations, environmental monitoring and industrial inspections. Overall, this project has the potential to push the boundaries of object detection and analysis technology.


I advice you to invest on other projects robotics is still in growing slowly except training institute .


Terabytes data+ other cost - 500k
Components /tools + 500k
Tuition 1.5m
Re: How To Become A Robotic Engineer Fast by Alphabyte3: 4:01pm On Jul 10
I want generative AI to do the reconstruction in 3d by beaming the wave in any any medium and SLAM used in Lidar , radar and sonar systems to simultaneously map an environment and determine the location of a moving object.

Radar, sonar and lidar hardware cost no go be here o. Good stuff though. Maybe I will plan some personal project around this for Q4

Lockheed Martin and Raytheon like such ideas integrated to their devices .

The integration of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies and Large Language Models (LLMs) as a service (MaaS) represents a significant evolution in the field of robotics. As these advanced AI models become increasingly powerful, they could serve as the "brain" of robotic systems, enabling them to perform a wide range of complex tasks with greater autonomy and efficiency. MaaS is models as services.
